Almost perfect
Important Oscar nominee
Bo Widerberg is a great example of the provice of swedish filmmaking and the richness of this land's filmography- and along with Ingmar Bergman, Jan Troell and Ruben Östlund to mention a few, one of those who has even made it to the Oscars.
This film is of course very important and showcases a well remembered and tragic event in rather recent swedish history, and how police intervention against agressive strikes can be bound for chaos.
The actors all do an incredible job, and conveys this tale beautifully, and Widerberg's characteristic cinematography, cutting and editing is ever present. It is all around very beautifully put together.
Overall, a very important, well written and eye-opening piece that is very much recommended for any lover of film, and for anyone really!
